An amazing week on Cumbres&Toltec with 168 and 315
| October 19, 2019 08:53PM |
This final week of regular operations for 2019, Cumbres & Toltec seems to have pulled out all the stops, perhaps a sneak pre-view to 2020. So here is a sneak preview of THIS WEEK (more later).
On Monday 168 made a run to Lava, perhaps crossing into New Mexico for the first time since 1936.
On Wednesday 315 double headed with 488 from Chama to Cumbres.
On Saturday 315 was on the lead again on the regular train, followed by 463 and 488 hammering up the 4 percent.
